    Thanks for the offer Zak.

    The scales I've got are exactly the same as is on it now. Still have the original big steel washers on the wedge end. It'll be a quick fix just to swap 'em out and roll.

    Probably use that hammered back scale for dust to fill some bug bites on my big Masonic Greaves' scales.

    Oh, wow! I only just noticed that those washers aren't the supports under the brass, but the actual, external, decorative washers. In steel. With a different pattern from most all the others I've seen.

    HELL.

    Finding someone to make me dies to punch these things won't help a bit! There's no end to the shapes!

    Guess I'll just have to learn to make my own dies.

    That is fantastic. Savage is a grail item for a lot of Sheffield guys.
